Please forward to grad students and faculty with the message from
me at the beginning. Thanks.
To Women's Studies Students and Faculty:
The Mid-Atlantic Women's Studies Assoc. Conference will be near
Annapolis (about an hour or less from DC) in October. The call for papers
is attached below. Abstracts are due April 20th.
This is an excellent opportunity for students to gain experience
presenting at a conference. It will be on a Saturday. If you are a
graduating student and plan to be in the area you can still participate.
You can propose individual papers or a panel. For students, if you want
help and encouragement, I'll be glad to look over your abstract, or help
you put together a panel.
For faculty, this is an opportunity to make our program visible.
The conference information is also listed on the women's studies web
page: www.gwu.edu/~wstu
